Forbes has once again put together another chart of the top earning hiphop entrepreneurs for the year of 2013. No surprise of the two top artists whom has been a part of the top since the chart started in 2007 and these two are Diddy and Jay-z. There were a few surprises in the ranking with the amount of music and other endeavors you have seen from certain artist on the list. For example, Lil Wayne I personally though he and Birdman would be much further on the chart but I guess their endeavors have not been as successful as showcased.
This chart shows that the number one way to the top is to diversify like the top earner Diddy. Diddy has stake in Ciroc, Bad Boy Entertainment, PR Company, clothing, Revolt TV and many more not mentioned. Diddy has shown to be a hard worker and I must say congrats to Diddy because the hard work does pay off. Please see video below from Forbes.com or just check out the list.
Here’s the top 10 below:
1. Diddy ($50 million)
2. Jay Z ($43 million)
3. Dr. Dre ($40 million)
4. Nicki Minaj ($29 million)
5. Birdman ($21 million)
